Catalysis by Di-n-butyltin Oxide of a Tertiary Ketol Rearrangement: Synthesis of Intermediates and Analogues of Valine and Isoleucine Biosynthesis
Crout, David H. G.,Rathbone, Daniel L.
, p. 290 - 291 (1987)
Di-n-butyltin oxide efficiently catalyses the rearrangement of 3-hydroxy-2-oxocarboxylic acid ester into the corresponding 2-hydroxy-3-oxo-esters, in a reaction that simulates the reversible rearrangement catalysed by the enzyme reductoisomerase.
Formation of δ-Lactones by Cerium-Catalyzed, Baeyer-Villiger-Type Coupling of β-Oxoesters, Enol Acetates, and Dioxygen

Formation of δ-lactones is observed when cyclopentanone-2-carboxylates are converted in a cerium-catalyzed reaction with α-aryl vinyl acetates under oxidative conditions. The products of this transformation possess a 1,4-dicarbonyl constitution together with a quaternary carbon center. Atmospheric oxygen is the oxidant in this process, which can be regarded as ideal from economic and ecological points of view. Further advantages of this new C-C coupling and oxidation reaction are its operational simplicity and the application of nontoxic and inexpensive CeCl3·7 H2O as precatalyst. This so far unprecedented reaction is proposed to proceed via 1,2-dioxane derivatives, which decompose under formation of an oxycarbenium cation in a Baeyer-Villiger-type pathway. This mechanistic picture is supported by the observation that electron-rich (donor substituted or heteroaromatic) enol esters give higher yields than electron deficient congeners. Apart from 1,4-diketones and α-hydroxylated β-oxoesters formed as byproducts, the yields of δ-lactones range from moderate to good (up to 74%).
Oxidative Chlorination of Activated Methylene Compounds with Sodium Chloride
Umland, Klaus-Daniel,Mayer, Camilla,Kirsch, Stefan F.
, p. 813 - 816 (2014/04/03)
An operationally simple protocol for the direct chlorination of 1,3-dicarbonyls (and related compounds such as α-cyano A?ketones) is described. The procedure relies on mild conditions using IBX-SO3K as the stoichiometric oxidizing agent and the

Universal remedy: The α-hydroxylation of β-keto esters and a range of other suitably substituted carbonyl compounds can be effected in the presence of IBX (2-iodoxybenzoic acid). This novel reactivity underscores the importance of IBX as a universally applicable oxidizing agent.
Cerium-Catalyzed Reaction of β-Dicarbonyl Compounds with Styrene and Atmospheric Oxygen
Christoffers, Jens,Werner, Thomas,Frey, Wolfgang,Baro, Angelika
, p. 4879 - 4886 (2007/10/03)
The cerium-catalyzed C-C coupling reaction of carbo- and heterocyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds 1 with styrenes 4, using oxygen (air) as the oxidant, at ambient temperature, is reported. The reaction afforded a mixture of diastereoisomeric hydroperoxides 5 w
Preparation of acyloins by cerium-catalyzed, direct hydroxylation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with molecular oxygen
Christoffers, Jens,Werner, Thomas,Unger, Sven,Frey, Wolfgang
, p. 425 - 431 (2007/10/03)
We report the metal-catalyzed α-hydroxylation of a variety of cyclic and acyclic β-dicarbonyl compounds by molecular oxygen. The decisive advantage of this new method is the use of catalytic amounts of the nontoxic cerium salt CeCl3·7H2O in 2-propanol at ambient temperature. Most of the cyclic substrates 4a-4i give high yields of analytically pure products 5a-5i, and the workup procedure is simple filtration through silica gel. The oxidation of acyclic dicarbonyl compounds 4j-4p, however, is accompanied by side reactions and decomposition, reducing the yields of products 5j-5p significantly. A proposed mechanism is in agreement with experimental results, in particular the observed oxygen uptake. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
Cerium-catalyzed α-oxidation of β-dicarbonyl compounds with molecular oxygen
Christoffers,Werner
, p. 119 - 121 (2007/10/03)
β-Ketoesters and β-diketones are α-hydroxylated by molecular oxygen in the presence of 5 mol% CECl3-7 H2O in i-PrOH as solvent. The method is limited to substrates with an α-alkyl substituent. Optimal yields are achieved with cyclic
